What You Do:

If you’re using our pre-made bingo cards, there’s nothing to do but print them out and hit the road. But if you’ve got a little more energy, you can create a game of bingo that turns your next family trip into an adventure. Here's how: Print out multiple copies of the “blank template” above, then fill each of the bingo squares with a picture of a landmark from an upcoming trip, pulled off the web, or from a travel brochure. These can be things you expect to pass along the way (for example, a ferry sign, or a roadside ice cream shop) or locations in the place you plan to visit (The Statue of Liberty, a subway stop, Times Square, John’s Pizza Shop, the Chrysler Building). Each family member gets a bingo board. Be sure to write the name of each picture underneath, to give your child practice associating the word with its picture.
